Nov. 18 and Dec. 2: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

U.S. Presswire

The measureables: 6-5, 241 pounds, 9th season. The numbers: 324 of 513 completions (63.2 percent), 4,077 yards, 21 TDs, 14 INTs, 90.1 rating in 2011. Against the Ravens: (9-5), 245 of 435 completions (56.3 percent), 3,193 yards, 21 TDs, 15 INTs, 81.3 rating. The challenge: Ravens players and fans dont need much of an introduction when it comes to the man affectionately referred to as Big Ben in Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger has dashed many hopes with his ability to shrug off sack attempts, buy time with his feet and fling the ball downfield to an open receiver. One of the largest passers in the league, Roethlisberger isnt shy about taking off to gain yardage and extend drives. He is surrounded by a talented receiving corps that includes Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown. But can Roethlisberger work with new offensive coordinator Todd Haley, whose volatile reputation with quarterbacks and receivers precedes him? The quote: His ability to improvise and make plays outside the pocket makes him one of the leagues best. Hes big and strong, so even when you keep him in the pocket and get your hands on him, he can be tough to take down. Its important to keep him inside and corral him with defenders. -- Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata who has amassed five sacks, three passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in 13 games against Roethlisberger.
